Monsoon Activity

The storm on Monday night was a very typical monsoon storm, hitting some places hard and skipping over others, dropping a lot of water in one locale and barely any in another, and packing some walloping winds. There were a lot of trees down - big ones - in the east valley; and there were more damaged planes out at Williams Gateway:



The Mister and First Cousin and I were in California that night, having met with our partners that will help develop the industrial property; so our pride and joy was parked far from the menacing winds. But it hurts The Mister's heart to see any aircraft dinged up; he says these will likely not ever fly again.

In Morrison Ranch, besides some trees that are down, the irrigation computers were down for a bit. The Water Expert has everything back on line, and if memory serves, we received .37 inches of rain that night.
